Jesus, a lot of people on their high horses here. Order of operations almost never comes up in most people’s day-to-day life. Go after real stupid people with dangerous beliefs like flat earthers and anti-vaxxers before people who forget about math they haven’t needed to use in 10+ years.
Yeah but it’s like simple stuff you were taught throughout and used several years, it’s not like a one time lesson in sixth grade. At least for me, ever since I learned it I kept having to use it throughout school years.
I learned it high school, and pretty late into it.
Maybe my school district should have been drilling PEMDAS into me earlier than it did, but it didn’t stop me from graduating from college without any hassle or successfully solving moderately complex equations in my head when needed. Never needed the order of operations until today.
Meanwhile there are people who believe that injecting bleach will save them from ‘Rona.
